## Indications for Use

IMUGARD WB PLT Platelet Pooling Set is intended to be used to leukocyte-reduce, pool and store whole-blood-derived platelets. For platelets prepared through manual methods, leukoreduction and pooling occur on Day 1, the day after whole blood collection and processing, with subsequent platelet storage up to Day 7 in the Terumo BCT ELP storage bag when used with FDA-cleared or approved bacterial detection tests. For platelets prepared by the Reveos® Automated Blood Processing System, leukoreduction and pooling occur on Day 1 or Day 2, with subsequent platelet storage up to Day 7 in the Terumo BCT ELP storage bag when used with FDA-cleared or approved bacterial detection tests. Additionally, for platelet units stored past 5 days and through 7 days, every pooled platelet product must be tested with a bacterial detection device cleared by FDA and labeled as a 'safety measure.'

## Device Story

Disposable set for leukoreduction, pooling, and storage of up to six whole-blood-derived platelet units; utilizes gravity drainage through integrated leukoreduction filter into ELP storage bag; includes sampling assembly for bacterial testing. Used in blood centers and hospitals; operated by trained personnel. Enables creation of pooled platelet product comparable to single apheresis therapeutic dose; extends storage capability up to 7 days when combined with FDA-cleared bacterial detection. No changes to device design; submission extends intended use to include platelets processed via Reveos system.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evaluated platelet quality (leukoreduction, recovery, pH) for units processed via Reveos system and pooled/stored on Day 1 or Day 2. Results confirmed acceptable platelet quality maintained through 7-day storage duration.

## Technological Characteristics

Single-use, ethylene oxide (ETO) sterilized disposable set. Components primarily Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with variable plasticizers; ELP storage bag constructed of citrated PVC. Gravity-driven filtration system. No electronic components, software, or energy sources.

## Regulatory Identification

An empty container for the collection and processing of blood and blood components is a device intended for medical purposes that is an empty plastic bag or plastic or glass bottle used to collect, store, or transfer blood and blood components for further processing.

## **B. Device Characteristics**

IMUGARD is an ethylene oxide (ETO) sterilized, single use disposable set.

## **C. Device Description**

IMUGARD is designed to allow the attachment of up to six (6) Whole Blood Derived Platelet (WBDP) concentrates for filtration, pooling and storage. WBDPs can be prepared using commercially available manual/semi-automated blood collection systems or automated blood processing systems. Up to 6 single units of WBDPs are sterile docked to the pooling arms and are then gravity drained through a leukoreduction filter. The leukoreduced and pooled platelet product then enters the ELP platelet storage bag (ELP bag). A sampling assembly is attached to the ELP bag. The sampling assembly allows aseptic removal of a sample from the ELP bag for subsequent bacterial or other applicable testing conducted by the blood center. The platelet pooling set allows for the combination of WBDPs to create a leukoreduced product that is comparable to a single apheresis therapeutic dose.

## **D. Environment of Use**

IMUGARD is intended to be used in blood centers, hospitals and healthcare facilities.

## **E. Materials of Use**

IMUGARD is generally comprised of Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components with variable plasticizers depending on the component. The ELP bag is constructed of Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) citrated.

## **F. Key Performance Specifications/Characteristics of the Device**

IMUGARD is designed to allow the attachment of up to six (6) Whole Blood Derived Platelet (WBDP) concentrates for filtration, pooling and storage in the ELP bag. Single units of WBDPs are sterile docked to the pooling arms and are then gravity drained through a leukoreduction filter. A sampling assembly allows aseptic removal of a sample from the ELP bag for subsequent bacterial or other applicable testing conducted by the blood center. The platelet pooling set allows for the combination of WBDPs to create a leukoreduced product that is comparable to a single apheresis therapeutic dose.

## **V. INTENDED USE**

IMUGARD WB PLT Platelet Pooling Set is intended to be used to leukocyte-reduce, pool and store whole-blood-derived platelets. For platelets prepared through manual methods, leukoreduction and pooling occur on Day 1, the day after whole blood collection and processing, with subsequent platelet storage up to Day 7 in the Terumo BCT ELP storage bag when used with FDA-cleared or approved bacterial detection tests. For platelets prepared by the Reveos® Automated Blood Processing System, leukoreduction and pooling occur on Day 1 or Day 2, with subsequent platelet storage up to Day 7 in the Terumo BCT ELP storage bag when used with FDA-cleared or approved bacterial detection tests. Additionally, for platelet units stored past 5 days and through 7 days, every pooled platelet product must be tested with a bacterial detection device cleared by FDA and labeled as a 'safety measure.'

## **VI. LABELING COMPARISON**

A comparison of IMUGARD labeling with the predicate device to establish substantial equivalence is provided in **Table 5.2**.

The subject device includes additional text for whole blood platelets prepared by Reveos. There have been no modifications or changes in the safety or effectiveness of the device since clearance; therefore, the difference in platelet preparation does not impact the safety or effectiveness of IMUGARD.  |

As shown in **Table 5.2**, the intended use is identical for whole blood platelets prepared through manual methods. There have been no modifications of the device since clearance; therefore, the additional text included for whole blood platelets prepared by Reveos does not impact the safety or effectiveness of IMUGARD.

## VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

*In vitro* bench testing performance data was provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Platelets prepared using the Reveos Automated Whole Blood Processing System were pooled and stored using the IMUGARD WB PLT Platelet Pooling Set. Platelets met expectations for leukoreduction, platelet recovery, and pH at the end of storage, whether pooling occurred on Day 1 or Day 2 after collection.

Reveos platelet pools are capable of being stored for up to 7 days in the Terumo BCT ELP storage bag, whether pooling occurs on Day 1 or Day 2 after collection, when used with FDA-cleared or approved bacterial detection tests. Acceptable platelet quality was well-maintained for the 7-day storage duration.

### VIII. CONCLUSIONS

Based upon the results of the non-clinical tests performed, IMUGARD is shown to be as safe and effective as the identified predicate device. The information provided in the 510(k) demonstrates that IMUGARD is substantially equivalent to its identified predicate device.
